NO FAVOR TO AMERICANS.
They Must Abide by the Laws Governing
Canadian Fishermen.

OTTAWA, ONT, May 3l.--In the Senate
last evening Mr.. Power moved that "in
opening this House it is the duty of the
Government of Canada to see that any
arrangement for the admission Of United
States fisherman to the territorial waters
of Canada which may be entered into be-
tween the Governments of Great Britain
and the United States, special provision
shall be made that fishermen of the latter
country, when within the waters of Can
ada, shall be subject to the laws and reg
ulations by which Canadian fishermen are
for the time heing governed.
lie strongly condemned the unfair way
in which Canada had been treated by the
United States, in regard to the interprcta-
tion nut on Article II of the Washington
treaty by placing duty on cans contain
ing fish. The government Of Canada
should close up any avenues of miScOn-
strnctisn by the United States which hal
proved such grievance in the past.
Senator Haythorn, of Prince Edward
Island, urged an increase in the number at
the fishery police The American people,
he said, Notwithstanding their energy and
intelligence, were difficult people to nego-
tiate with. IfanOther fishery treaty were

see that the rights OF Canada were respect
ed under it.
Mr.. Abbott, leader of the Government
said he WAS glad to see that the fishery
question was looked upon ~ of great inn
portanee by both political parties. The
question raised by Senator Powers was
very much like the question raised after
the Fortune Bay affair, The American
fishermen in that case undoubtedly broke
the laws of Newfoundland which the Cam
adian fishermen are bound to respect. Her
Maiesty's Government took the view that
the law ought to he obeyed by all alike. II
that was disputed by the American Govern
ment it was equally maintained by the
British Government. The Dominion Gov
ernment would bring this matter before the
Imperial authorities to see that the rights
of canada were maintained.
The motion Wa, unanimously adopted.

the maxim that tho world is gov

when our fathers achieved their
independence, the corner stone Of
tho government they constructed
was individual liberty, and the So
cial organizations they established
were not for the surrender but or
the protection OF natural rights.
FOR this governments were estab-
lished, deriving their just powers
from the consent of the governed.
This was not to subject themselves
TO the will OF the majority, as ap-
poars from the fact that each COM
munity inserted In it's fundament-
al law a bill OF rights to guard the
inalienable privileges of the indi-
viduaI.
There was then a two-fold pur

wise, and honest and fair there
would be little danger in such NEE
tinls as the n held in Laulens,
but the danger is that escaped muir
deror would be the leaders of moUy

dy punishment. Thieves that have
never been caught would lead in

Is human nature. The laws as we

II tho verdict is wrong no one

To reach people who have money

they form a kind OF concurrent
court or n court Of correction, in
which the people may meet and re-

is the higher law doctrine and our
people are driftingin that direction.
